Trails & outdoors

Mt John Summit Track
A 2-hour return summit walk from the village to the Mt John Observatory, with panoramic views over Lake Tekapo, the Mackenzie Country and the Southern Alps. The defining short walk in the area.

Things to do

Dark Sky Project Stargazing Tour
Guided night stargazing tour at the Mt John Observatory or at the Cowans Observatory near the village, with the world's largest dark sky reserve overhead. The signature night experience.

Hot pools complex on the lake's edge with stargazing soaks on clear nights. Family-friendly; the right ending for a Mackenzie day.

Landmarks & sights

Church of the Good Shepherd
The tiny stone-and-oak 1935 church on the lake shore, framed in its window by the turquoise lake and the snow-capped Southern Alps. Built as a memorial to the Mackenzie Country pioneers; one of the most-photographed buildings in the country. Free, five minutes from the village.

Lake Tekapo
The turquoise glacier-fed lake at the heart of the Mackenzie Country, with the Southern Alps reflected on still mornings and the country's most distinctive blue water. The defining sight of the region. Free.
